One of his
prayers upon the bearers of the Throne and on all the angels honored with
Divine Nearness

O
Lord, the bearers of Your Throne never grow tired of hallowing Your Name,
are never wearied of remembering Your Holiness, are never exhausted by
adoring You, do not prefer default to earnest effort in (obedience to) Your
Command and never fail to have intense love for You.
And Israfil,the trumpeter, the vigilant, who is waiting for Your permission
and order to warn the dead who are lying in the tombs with the blast. And
Michael, The honorable in Your Sight and the holder of lofty rank in Your
service. And Gabriel, The trustee of Your revelation, who is obeyed among
the residents of Your Heavens, is respectable in Your Sight and is nigh to
You. And the Spirit, (Set in command) over the angels of the curtains.

And the Spirit,
(Proceeding) from Your Command. Therefore, let Your Blessings descend on
them and, besides them, on angels who are the inhabitants of Your Heavens
and trusted with Your Messages; those whom no blame affects on account of
lassitude, no fatigue on account of toil and no indolence. Neither do the
desires engage them away from hallowing Your Name nor does forgetfulness or
negligence prevent them from glorifying You. Their eyes are bent downwards
so that they do not direct their sight towards You. Their chins are lowered.
Those whose liking for what is with You has existed for a long time. Those
who are eager to recall Your Favor, (Those) who humble themselves in the
presence of Your Greatness and the glory of Your Majesty. Those who when
they see hell flaming for the disobedient say, "Glory to You! We did not
worship You as You did deserve to be worshipped." Therefore, bless them and
the enlightened from among Your angels. Bless the deservers of nearness in
Your Sight, the carriers of tidings of the unseen to Your Apostles and
entrusted with Your revelation.

(Bless) the
hosts of angels whom You have appointed for Yourself, made independent of
food and drink by (making them remember) Your Holiness and has established
them within the apartments of Your Heavens.

(Bless) those
waiting at its confines, when Your Command descends for the fulfillment of
Your Promise.

(Bless) the
keepers of the stores of rain and the drivers of clouds. (Bless) those, at
whose angry rebuke are heard peals of thunder when the stormclouds move with
their deadly lightning flashes.

(Bless) the
companions of snow and hail and those who descend with the drops of rain
where it comes down.

(Bless) those in
control of the supplies of winds and those posted on mountains that never
quit their places. (Bless) those whom You have told of the quantities of
water and the measure of what is brought down by heavy rains. (Bless) the
angels who are Your Messengers (to the inhabitants of the earth) of evil
calamities that are to come down; and of agreeable prosperity. (Bless) the
venerable, virtuous messengers and the honorable Guardian scribes. (Bless)
the angel of death and his assistant. (Bless) Munkir, Nakir and Ruman, the
examiner of the dead in tombs; and those who walk round the Heavenly Temple.
Bless Malik and the guards of hell, Rizwan, the keepers of Paradise and
those who do not disobey God in what He Commanded them and do what they are
ordered to do and those who say, "Peace be upon you for your patience.
Behold how good an abode is the world here after. Bless the Guardian angels
who when told to "catch him and chain him, then fling him into hell" quickly
advance towards the sinner and do not grant him respite. Bless the one whom
we omitted to mention and whose position we did not learn from You, nor for
what purpose You did appoint him. Bless the angels of the air, the earth and
the water and those of their number who are set over Your creatures.

Therefore, bless
them on the day on which every soul shall come with a Saiq and a Shahid and
favor them with a blessing which may add honor to their honor and purity to
their purity. O God, and when You have blessed Your angels and Your Apostles
and conveyed to them our blessings on them, be pleased to grace them for
enabling us to speak well of them. Verily You are Generous and Bountiful !
